Korean Pizza, the thief Marco Polo exposed

A friend in Silicon Valley, California, United States of America sent me a video link. The video claims the 13th century (1200's) Italian explorer the Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo while a guest of the Kublai Khan in The Middle Kingdom, China, stole pizza from Korea. Huh?

The video (link below) if not a hoax interviews a number of educated and notables in Korea all of whom claim pizza was a Korean creation stolen by Marco Polo. The video also shows a lone Korean with a protest sign in front of a Pizza parlor in Brooklyn, New York (A & L Italian Ristorante & Pizzeria).

Looking at a map of Marco Polo's travels throughout his long stay in The Middle Kingdom it does not show he traveled to Korea. Perhaps he stole the pizza from the Kublai Khan and not Korea? Allow us to hallucinate and agree Mr. Polo did steal Pizza from China or Korea, was it really a pizza? The three main ingredients to pizza are: dough, tomato sauce, and cheese.

One problem: Tomatoes were not known to the Europeans until two hundred years after Marco Polo. Tomatoes were discovered in South America after Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492.

So did Mr. Polo on his way back to Italy from China stop off in South America to get some tomatoes to bring back to Italy to make the tomato sauce for the stolen pizza? Did he also stop off in Brazil to get some real tomatoes?

If the Koreans in the video want to claim something Italian, how about they claim the Mafia, the La Cosa Nostra? Are they going to claim the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci was also stolen from Korea? Better not claim "America" was named after a Korean, because it was named after the Italian map maker "Americo Vespucio.

"Video accusing Marco Polo being a pizza thief:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiLA6Bk_ivs

NEW INFORMATION:
Disclaimer and/or note: I do not know if the video this is a response to is a hoax or not. However I spoke to the owner of the pizza parlor the Korean was protesting in front of. He said the Korean had the film crew with him, then after making the video in front of the pizza parlor the Korean with the film crew flew back to Korea. Meaning the protest was staged just for the video. Now whether the Koreans who staged this actually believe Marco Polo stole the pizza or not that is another question.

Now here is where it continues to get interesting: In the video the narrator types an address on the Internet www.trueorig.... Then the video breaks away to the corresponding web page. However if you look at the address bar on that web page it reads: www.addictmediafilms.com. A further search shows "Addict Media Films" is located in Seoul, South Korea. Was the video a hoax or real? Hmmmmm?

And here is how Korea keep deny the real history of own country and how Japanese kept help Korean to be independent during the war time. The book is written by KOREAN professor and he is VERY SAD since still KOREAN DISRESPECT JAPAN continuously. watch?v=-YhXvyv91XY&feature=re­lated

Korean has no hasitation

@moko4tube A lot of people don't know this little fact but American flag was banned from TV air shortly after 911 by the Republican party in charge. They didn't want the whole world to compare American flag with Nazi flag during the time of war propaganda.

[logindifficulty]

the whole video was a joke. did you miss that?

[dokkiro]

@moko4tube It is my sincere opinion that Dokdo Takeshima dispute is really about Japanese not willing to give back islands they took from Taiwan, China, etc. Defacing flags of another country is very illegal in South Korea. All forms of medias are obligated to that law. It's kind of lese majesty laws for foreign countries within South Korea. Shocking protest of Korean navy soldiers in front of Japanese embassy really does say something. They are risking incarcerations.

@dokkiro Left-wing teachers taught me "Japan flag is Bad"

I did not know japanese national song.

I do not think imperialism is good.
